Forgive me if I sound like an idiot, but I never gotten any time of malware on my computer. I'm usually very careful what sites I go to, and I have the "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" on Safari and on Chrome I have the phishing and malware protection enabled. So anyway, upon doing a full system scan today, it found 4 Win32:Malware-gen on my Mac, embedded deep within a Chrome folder (/Users/MisterRyan07/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/File System/000/t/00/00000000).
Several questions:
Is this a Windows malware only that it cannot affect my Mac?
How come the shield didn't detect it or is that due to the fact that it's a Windows malware?
Do I need to do anything? Such as change passwords or whatever?
I have Bootcamp, but since it's found on the Mac side, will it affect the Windows partition? If so, do I need to change my passwords or whatever?
I know I didn't have the malware in my computer that long because the last scan I did was on October 23, 2014, but only scanned my Home Folder and it didn't find any infection. It's just very odd the shield didn't pick up on it.
